   so i got this HW prob, and i dont know exactly where to start,
   
   Oil flows steadily in a thin layer down an inclined plane. The velocity profile is
   
   u = [(density)(g)(sin theta) / Mu] [(hy - (0.5)y^2]
   
   express the mass flow rate per unit width in terms of density, Mu, g, theta, and h
   
   
   no diagram is given.

   If you're given a velocity profile, that's the function of velocity as you go away from the base. You're going to need to integrate to get a solution.
   
   I'm going to move this to homework help.
